Part of me is "why bother" but the part of me that's disgusted with the evaporation of the knowledge base in trucking can't let stuff go unchallenged. So...
There's a time and place for 4-ways to give folks a heads up. Unfortunately, most drivers apply zero thinking to their use, and fall back on the black& white stances that the idiots in the safety departments have driven into their drivers.
A sudden drop in speeds? Absolutely, with no one running radios anymore, it's gets everyone's attention.
50 idiots in slow traffic all running flashers because i'M bElOw ThE sPeEd LiMiT? Emphasis on the idiot part of that sentence.
I could go on but I got things I got to do.Numb, ElmerFudpucker, Lonesome and 4 others Thank this. -
Remember the days when seeing someone with 4 ways on meant something is wrong?
It's as if they are perceived as being cloaked in a safety veil when turned on.Sons Hero, ElmerFudpucker, Lonesome and 3 others Thank this. -
Or they is soft and view minor events as emergency?Sons Hero, kwswan, ElmerFudpucker and 4 others Thank this.

The ones 100 yards off the roadway with the flashers on make me chuckle.
Like who TF is gonna run up your ### over there? -
Somewhere there is a driver pulling an Amazon trailer with a non-domicile CDL saying “I accept this challenge!”.Sons Hero, ElmerFudpucker, Lonesome and 6 others Thank this.

@Hammer166 mentioned an evaporation of the knowledge base……I can’t say as I’ve ever heard that. But I also can’t agree with that statement more.
My first real experience in winter was in Thunder snow. Had an ol head with me that didn’t read well at all unless it was a map. I learned more about what we were doing from Joplin to Canadian Texas that night than any other single time. Yes I knew him yes I trusted him. But without a CB radio and us both speaking the English language I’d still be stupid about how to handle it.
Sad thing this new drivers say they is no need for either. So I say #### them stupid lil m’fers. Get in the ditch and outta my ####in waySmallPackage, Sons Hero, TripleSix and 5 others Thank this. -
Lol. Instead of the traditional "Hold my Beer", it's now "Hold my turban"

Every 4 wheeler in the south does this on a rainy day. It's as if the roads suddenly dried up, the sun came out, and now its okay to do whatever speed you're doing.Big Road Skateboard and Oxbow Thank this.

I think we can all agree that trucking has been reduced to the lowest common denominator. Don’t believe me? Got to the T/A and look at the Popeyes. For some reason they have to take a mandatory 11 hours off every day and yet can find time to wash themselves or their clothes. They all sit in there looking like hobo air traffic controllers with these giant headsets on. Nobody shower, nobody shaves, nobody has clean clothes.
But yet they don’t run as hard, have trucks that are more comfortable, don’t have to shower with 10 other dudes in a shower room.
They are lazy, and isolated and all going to an early grave.
their grandpa’s are disgusted in them. Soft, lazy, limp dicks. That’s what a truck driver is today.Sons Hero, Lonesome, TurkeyCreekJackJohnson and 6 others Thank this.
